Help Joe Taylor had been down over the weekend due to a spammer abusing our contact form. Until we can find a fix, the contact form will unfortunately be unavailable.
Please continue to keep Joe in your prayers as this is far from over. The sale of the mastodon has been blocked through yet more court room dealings. The fossil magazine has been canceled for the time being due to a lack of funding.
Last night the Lone Star Mastodon sold at auction for a bid of $160,000. Heritage Auctions charges a buyer’s premium of 19.5% bringing the total price for the buyer to $191,200.00 unless the buyer lives in Texas in which case s/he will also have to pay sales tax as well. Heritage Auctions also charges the seller around 20% so Joe will receive around $128,000 from this sale.
Joe is not out of the woods yet, and still needs your prayers and support. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes and God works all things for the good of those that love Him.
Joe is throwing himself into his new magazine, Mt. Blanco Fossil News, at the moment and we will update you as soon as it goes to press! Contact Joe now for information about advertising in this exciting new creation magazine.
The Lone Star Mastodon sold at auction tonight for $160,000.00!
Thank you all for your prayers. The Lord is good and faithful to His children and hears the prayers of the righteous.
Please continue to remember Joe as there is more legal wrangling going on with the other party attempting to seize his museum. Please pray that the judge will judge righteously and that God will be glorified.
The Lone Star Mastodon Auction is only one week away.
Here are our top ten reasons to bid on the Lone Star Mastodon:
9. To meet Joe Taylor as he delivers it personally
8. Bidding starts at only $60,000
7. This is the first and only mastodon skull ever found in Texas
6. A tiny LED light placed inside the root canal leading to the skull - the result looks like a spectacular ice cave, and a similar tiny LED light was also installed in the brain cavity so one can look in and see “what’s on its mind”
5. This LED technique has never before been used in fossil restoration
4. Restoration of the mastodon took a year and a half and 1500 man hours
3. To help our dear Christian brother, Joe Taylor
2. The Lone Star is the largest four tusk mastodon EVER Found
1. To save this precious find from the hands of those who tramp around the countryside bringing along valuable fossils to dangerous places like dig sites.
Online Bidding is going on now at Heritage Auction Galleries. You can also meet Joe Taylor and bid in Grand Format in Dallas, Texas on January 20th, 2008.

We have a new page up devoted to the Lone Star Mastodon Auction which will take place January 20th in Dallas, Texas through Heritage Auction House.
This mastodon skull is HUGE! It is the largest four tusk mastodon ever found as certified by an independent appraiser. I really enjoyed reading on Mt. Blanco’s website about the incredible restoration and unveiling of this amazing fossil.
Online bidding is going on now! Please help spread the word about this auction, even if you don’t know anyone in the market for a truely one of a kind representaion of God’s amazing glory in creation, perhaps someone you know does.
Yay! We got the new hosting working. This will allow us to continue to improve the site and help us to keep helping Joe. God is so good to bring people into this project, who are willing to help in exactly the way we need at the time we need it! Please continue to pray for Joe and keep spreading the word about helpjoetaylor.com.
The evolutionists are all in a buzz against against Joe selling the mastodon. Their words give away their hatered for our Lord. They desire for all in the creation field to disappear. I pray God will protect those who are contending for the truth of His Word. I pray for the evolutionists, that God may touch their hearts, that they may repent and believe on Christ who made them. May God use them even in their folly for His God will.
Romans 1:19-25
[19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
[20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
[21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
[22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
[24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
[25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
We are amazed. God is really working through this, we have had great feedback and offers of help to support Joe and spread the word. We’re tired, but greatly encouraged.
